| Hi,
I would like to grow a rose from a cutting - Laguna - and I'm wondering how to do that and when is the best time. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Bellarosa |

| Note that if the rose you wish to root is 'Laguna' the Kordes climber, it was int. 1995, and is still in patent -- so should not be propagated. If your Laguna is one of the older editions, and is out of patent, there are a TON of ways to start roses from cuttings. All are good. Some work better with some roses, not as well with others. My friend Barbara Oliva said: "If you've tried to propagate a rose, and you've failed, you may be using the wrong method, or at the wrong time, for that rose." Under "ARTICLES" on the website of the Gold Coast Heritage Roses Group (see below) you'll find information on methods. You should also GOOGLE "Starting Roses From Cuttings" or "Rooting Rose Cuttings" -- which will give you a plethora of methods. Jeri |

| Bellarosa:First take as many cuttings as you can, as some of them will surely die. I usually wait until early Fall and take cuttings and put them in potting soil outside in a wooden half barrel cover with a jar and keep damp. If temp is too warm at that time you might not want to put on jar. In Spring there should be little sprouts and leaves coming out. I usually leave mine in barrel until the following Fall and then take out and plant in rose garden. Hope this helps. There are lots of good garden books that tells how to start roses from cuttings. Good luck. Pembroke |

| I have used the following method for years, but there are others. Hartwood has one of the best descriptions of another way I have read on the internet http://www.hartwoodroses.com/Articles/rootingroses.php Steve |
